flak@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Former WoW devs announce new studio: Fantastic Pixel CastleEnglish3·2 years agoHonestly the dungeon finder is super helpful to people like me who have a small amount of time to play. I think they should have treated it like Raid Finder though and had it give lesser loot to encourage doing it properly.

flak@beehaw.orgto U.S. News@beehaw.org•A Black student was suspended for his hairstyle. The school says it wasn’t discrimination.English22·2 years agoGreg Poole, who has been district superintendent since 2006, said the policy is legal and teaches students to conform as a sacrifice benefitting everyone.
“When you are asked to conform … and give up something for the betterment of the whole, there is a psychological benefit,” Poole said. “We need more teaching (of) sacrifice.”
Fuck right off with that. Your appearance (so long as it’s not designed specifically to distract) is yours. We have minimal ways of expressing ourselves and that is one of them.
flak@beehaw.orgto Science@beehaw.org•A disturbing number of TikTok videos about autism include claims that are “patently false,” study findsEnglish2·2 years agoIt does not “intervene” in their Autism so much as it forces them to appear more neurotypical, and a study from 2018 suggests that it actually creates PTSD symptoms in the patients
That actually explains so much about me holy shit
flak@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Are there still any solid, updated minecraft modpacks around?English5·2 years agoIt’s not a pack with very many mods similar to IndustrialCraft or BuildCraft (which I adored) but I do enjoy how it gates the progression and my girlfriend and I are addicted to running the vaults in Vault Hunters (Third edition specifically) https://vaulthunters.gg/
flak@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Microsoft to Drop Support for Third-Party Printer Drivers on WindowsEnglish6·2 years agoYeah and there was a whole privilege escalation exploit because of that, get system level access whenever you plug in a Razer peripheral because you could open a powershell window from the “Choose where to install” prompt.
I’m honestly surprised that made it past as many layers of checks as it did.
I think it was heavily implied to be nukes in the books but never explicitly stated.
The gardens were above a station that was abandoned though, so bombing it wouldn’t do as much as if it was right over an active station.
I only ever did one thing for a science fair and it was dropping an egg in a box with varying materials to see what protected the egg the best.
Nothing protected it very well.

flak@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Netflix kills Basic plan, making its cheapest ad-free tier $15.491·2 years agoYep! The Plus/Pro line is the good shit. The base models of WD drives are not great now, especially if you’re going to set up a RAID array of some sort.
flak@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Netflix kills Basic plan, making its cheapest ad-free tier $15.491·2 years agoThose would be the SMR drives, if you don’t want that you’re looking at about $84.
flak@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Netflix kills Basic plan, making its cheapest ad-free tier $15.499·2 years agoYou can get refurbed drives for under $50.
New ones that aren’t white label (which, nothing wrong with that) for 4 TB are about $100.
I’ve seen “beeple” and loved it but I also saw “cowbee” earlier today and thought that was pretty cute.
flak@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•I’ve fallen into a deep gaming rut lately. What helped “get you back into” gaming and rediscover the magic of video games?1·2 years agoMy girlfriend got me to play Outer Wilds and the first thing I did was try to fly into the sun and she was just staring at me like “why are you like this” while I was grinning like mad.
flak@beehaw.orgto World News@beehaw.org•[LIVE THREAD] Donald Trump's arraignment in Miami; his supporters expected to protest outside of courthouseEnglish3·2 years agoThe actual average is 0.43
2 indictments / 46 presidents
flak@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•What are peoples thoughts on games requiring always online? How does it affect your enjoyment of those games?7·2 years agoMy internet connection drops constantly because Cox is horrible at providing what I pay for so if a game has an always online DRM component it becomes unplayable frequently. I don’t like it for that reason, but I also don’t like it from a “the server will go offline at some point and then this is going to be unplayable forever after that” point of view.
flak@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit communities with millions of followers plan to extend the blackout indefinitelyEnglish18·2 years agoStuff’s already starting to go back to public, I expect nothing to change for the better.
flak@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•What are y'all's all time favourite game OSTs?English2·2 years agoI’ve always been a big fan of pretty much all of the Persona series’ soundtracks.
Mass Destruction from Persona 3 is just *chefs kiss*
Wow there is no reason to be that rude with your “you might be somehow new…” comment, that was uncalled for.
